Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan believes Wayne Routledge will hinder his own development as a player if he leaves the club in the summer.

The England Under-21 winger has rejected new terms with the Eagles and is set to leave the club at the end of the season, with the club rejecting a £2m bid from Tottenham during the January transfer window.

The 20-year-old will be free to leave Selhurst Park in the summer - with a tribunal to decide the fee Palace receive as he is too young to leave on a Bosman transfer.
